Michael Turner is facing a race against time to be fit for Norwich's FA Cup third-round tie against Fulham on Saturday.

The powerful defender is struggling to shake off a troublesome hamstring injury and manager Chris Hughton will assess him closer to kick-off.

Definitely out is midfielder Leroy Fer who serves a one-match suspension after he was sent off against Crystal Palace, while Jonny Howson will also miss out with a back problem.

It is not all bad news for Hughton though as Dutch striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel is in line for his first start since October after proving his fitness. Fellow striker Luciano Becchio could also be handed a chance to impress along with 18-year-old winger Josh Murphy and his twin brother Jacob.

Anthony Pilkington is close to returning from his hamstring injury while Alexander Tettey is almost over his ankle injury, but the game is too soon for either and winger Elliott Bennett remains a long-term absentee.
